The Scots' win was not especially pretty, but it was a "W." And we got to see a little bit of Alex! Did the knee hold up afterward?

Here is the Daily times article:

Outside shooting would be a nice new weapon.

10 minutes and one shot from Alex. Can't hit 'em if you don't shoot 'em!

I thought she had a good 10 minutes. Coach got her in the game real early which I thought helped her relax. I thought she only passed up 1 open look as all the ladies stuck to the game plan. As you can see, we only shot 12 3's. I say there will be more opportunities Saturday vs Piedmont.

I actually was paying more attention to her on the defensive end, to see how she could guard and her quickness. I'm not worried about her shot, but if you can't stop anybody, might be hard to get minutes. I thought she guarded well.

Here is Marcus' piece in the Daily Times about the MC Piedmont game, which was fun to watch! It will be interesting to see if the Scots can stay focused and win out and give the new coach and the seniors a shot at the NCAA.

Got a real, real great shot at it!
NCAA / Probably would draw Oglethorpe first round. That's who Piedmont got last year.

Non conference game vs Sewanee might be fun. Record not that great, but beat Agnes Scott by 39 (Scots beat them by 9); Beat Birmingham Southern by 3 (Scots lost by 5); Lost to Centre by 2 (Scots lost by 9). Lost to Depauw by 13. Could be a stay focus game.

I thought they looked good against Sewanee. That Tara ? from Seymour is a great addition to this team.
I still want to see them bond as a team more. They still seem to be fighting that. JMHO.

GottaHaveHeart · February 05, 2009, 09:03:05 AM

I thought we played better the second half. First half, give credit to Sewanee, we didn't look that good.

Tara has been doing a great job all year.

Basically a 3 game lead with 6 games to go for Conference title and #1 seed. ( 4 road / 2 home )

scottiedoug · February 05, 2009, 11:20:58 AM

Nice to see #5 stroke a 3! Tara is going to be a force to be reckoned with. If coach can bring in more like her, replacing all those seniors will be fun to see. If they keep playing like they did in the second half, people should want to come to MC and play basketball!

I believe the Lady Scots are headed in the right direction under Coach Wright. They are way better than last years' team. More disciplined. Do I think they can make some noise in the NCAA tournament, no way. Not deep enough. Guard play is erratic and Natalie is not the player she was when we had her as a freshman.

I believe they can win the GSAC which gets them an Automatic but its one and done! Not a bad thing to start off the program for Coach Wright though. Hope they continue to get better and maybe he can bring in some better players in next year. The reason Dee Bell was so successful he was able to have 10 girls who could contribute on any given night.

Coach Wright keep up the good work.

Nice win for the ladies....shot the ball great from 3-point (8-14) and just overall a great shooting night. Can lock up regular season conference title / #1 seed in conference tournament with a win Monday night versus Agnes Scott.

I agree with the coach's and reporter's assessment of the Scots against Spellman. But they have their fate in their own hands.
